What is HISTORY? (you better get this right!)
'O' in HOPS.
What is OBSERVATION? (you better get this right!)

What is SPECIAL TEST? (you better get this right!)
A technique used to evaluate an injury.
What is HOPS?
Most common athletic injury caused by an MOI of Ankle Inversion.
What is a Lateral Ankle Sprain?
What is an ankle dislocation?
The muscle and tendon group that is most palpable on the anterior surface on the lower leg and ankle with active dorsiflexion.
What are the anterior tibialis tendon and muscle? (or tibialis anterior muscle/tendon)
The two directions of the Talar Tilt test.
What is Inversion and Eversion of the Talar Tilt Test? (just saying, 'inversion and eversion' is fine too)
The two ligaments that would likely be injured in a lateral ankle sprain. (NO ABBREVIATIONS)
What is the calcaneofibular ligament and anterior talofibular ligament?
The injury most likely to have occured with the patient's MOI is forced plantar flexion with inversion.
What is a High Ankle Sprain?
What is a tibia and fibula fracture? (ti/fib or fibula and tibia fracture is okay too)
Bony landmarks on the distal ends of the tibia and fibula.
What are the medial and lateral malleolus? (lateral and medial malleolus is fine too)
The special test consisting of the examiner compressing the length of the patient's fibula.
What is the Compression Test?
The ligament being tested when the examiner places an inversion force to the patient's talus.
What is the Calcaneofibular Ligament?
An overuse injury where the patient usually complains of pn on bottom of foot, first thing in the morning.
What is Plantar Fasciitis?
(The visual observation of a general type of ankle sprain.)
What is a Lateral Ankle Sprain? (sprain of CF and/or ATF is fine too)
Where a patient would have the most pn with palpations if they are suffering a Jone's Fx.
What is the Base of the 5th Metatarsal?
The examiner places a passive dorsiflexion force with external rotation to the patient's ankle and lower leg.
What is the Kleiger's Test?
The Ligament injured in a High Ankle Sprain.
What is the syndesmosis?
The 5 P's of Compartment Syndrome.
What is: pulselessness, palor, paralysis, pain, and paresthesia? (any order is fine)
(the observation most associated with compartment syndrome)
What is pitting edema?
What are the peroneal tendons?
What is the Thompson Test?
Another injury likely to occur along with soft tissue damage in an ankle joint dislocation.
What is ankle/ lower leg fracture? ('fracture' is okay too)
